Dr. Ellis inaugurated as fifth president of Cal Baptist
By Michael Toeset and
Michael Welsh
Co-Editors
On April 21, Dr. Ronald
L. Ellis was ceremonially
recognized as the fifth president in California Baptist
College's history.
Amid much pomp, perhaps the biggest event of
the decade for Cal Baptist,
Ellis was inaugurated as
president.
Ellis has been serving as
president of Cal Baptist
since Nov. 1, 1994. Since
he began his term, Ellis has
been involved in helping establish a stronger athletic
program, already adding
golf, cross-country, and
track teams. Ellis is also
involved with the plans for

also in office when the Western Association of Schools
and Colleges approved the
master's degree in the education program.
Ellis follows a distinguished series of presidents
at Cal Baptist. The first
president of the college was
P. Boyd Smith, followed by
Loyed R. Simmons, James
R. Staples, and Russell R.
Tuck.
The inauguration ceremonies for Ellis began
Tuesday night, April 18.
Ellis and his family attended
dinner in the cafeteria and
were treated to a "Welcoming the Big Cheese" party.
At the dinner, pizza was
served to the students while
Ellis conversed and associated with the students.
Student groups then
made special presentations
to Ellis. The groups included the brass ensemble,

Spring Masquerade- a night to remember
By Michael Toeset
Co-Editor
California Baptist
College's annual Spring
Banquet was held last Friday, April 28 amid a sea of
white and black.
The theme of this year's
banquet was "Spring Masquerade." The students attending were asked to dress
semiformal in white and
black, only white, or solely
black attire.
Once the guests arrived
at the Balboa Pavilion, they
were handed theater masks
to compliment their attire.
For the third year in a
row, the setting of the banquet was "Tale of the
Whale," so named because
of the nearby ocean.
Tamara Harrington,
ASCBC activities coordinator and Sabina Butler,
ASCBC assistant activities
coordinator, planned this
year's event and decided
on the theme.
The entertainment at the
banquet featured a karaoke
contest, where any who
wished to enter could play.
After each student performed the song of their
choice, the audience judged
their performance by their
applause.
Dee Jay Chris Hensen,
who also covered this year's
Yule and last year's Spring
Banquet, then decided
which performance raised
the most applause. Cash
awards of $75, $50, and $25
were awarded to the top
three contestants. The winners were Taahlib
McMicheaux ($75), Rachel
Barling ($50) and Dex
Alexander ($25). Shane
Anderson, one of the dateless men, dedicated his song
to all the women who told
him no. "I should have won.
The others were good, but I
thought I deserved to win."
Although there was
room for 150 to attend the
banquet, only about 100
students did attend. "They
missed out," said Doug
Eaton. "It was a fantastic
time."
